PRODUCTION OF FATTY ALCOHOLS WITH FATTY ALCOHOL FORMING ACYL-COA REDUCTASES (FAR)

摘要

Methods of producing fatty alcohols from recombinant host cells comprising genes encoding heterologous fatty acyl-CoA reductase (FAR) enzymes are described including FAR enzymes and functional fragments thereof derived from marine bacterium and particularly marine gamma proteobacterium such as Marinobacter and Oceanobacter, as well as polynucleotides encoding the FAR enzymes and vectors and host cells comprising the same.
